This autosomal recessive situs anomaly has been described as normal levo position of the heart with dextro position of the abdominal viscera. In this case report, we describe accidental diagnosis of isolated levocardia with situs inversus in pediatric patient while evaluating for heart murmur. Systematic examination of the patient identified the presence of patent ductus arteriosus, anomalous course of inferior vena cava and bovine aortic arch. We shared our experience of successful transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus. This case report is worth reporting both, for demonstrating the possibility of the percutaneous device closure of the patent ductus arteriosus in patient with this unusual situs anomaly to interventional cardiologists and because of scanty of literature.展开更多

We describe here the strategy adopted to perform single stage fenestrated extra cardiac conduit total cavo-pulmonary connections in this patient especially concerning cardiac malposition of atrial situs inversus and levocardia.展开更多
